Vintage Homelite 27AV Powerstroke Chainsaw ALMOST PERFECT

Description: This is a show quality saw. It's a time capsule. The elderly man I bought the saw from said it had been used "Years ago." If this doesn't sell, so be it. I will keep it in my collection. I have a large collection of vintage chain saws. This oneIs so perfect it shouldn't be used. It should be in a chainsaw museum. Only thing I could find for a build date looked like 09-99. 27AV Powerstroke Specifications Homelight 2 stroke engine Engine: 2.7 cu in. 2.7 cubic inches = 2.7 × 16.387064 = 44.2450728 cc/ tag read 45cc I don't think this saws' been out of that case more than a couple times. A few scratches, ZERO sun fade. Even the case has been well cared for. It may need a slight adjustment at the HI/ LO settings for your altitude but it would be very slight. The Owner's manual was also in the case. It has been soaked in bar oil from the saw. Still readable and complete. Some reason the rope seems short. It was starting on the first pull for me. It's so clean it almost looks fake. This is going to make someone a great addition to their vintage chainsaw collection. In the case was the manual, a used chain, grease gun, and the original bar tool. Homelite Company History WWII War effort by Homelite was notable. Homelite Corporation is an American power equipment manufacturer that became notable for being one of the largest post-World War II manufacturers of portable electrical generators and professional and consumer level chainsaws, as well as holding the distinction of producing the world's first one-man operated chainsaw. In 1921, entrepreneur Charles H. Ferguson of Port Chester, New York, invented a lightweight, portable, gasoline-powered electrical generator. His newly founded company, the Home Electric Lighting Company (later abbreviated to Homelite), made it possible for thousands of rural farms and households to enjoy the convenience of electricity, where it would be years before land lines would reach many of these remote areas. In addition, many of Mr. Ferguson's generators played a significant role in the war effort, providing portable electricity on demand for the troops during World War II. Homelite has shifted its production primarily to consumer level lawn and garden equipment and light duty chainsaws. Replacement parts for the older, professional-grade, saws are generally limited to new old stock (NOS) and salvage parts. However, these saws were built to last, and a good percentage of them are still in use to this day.
